Clinical Interests
I provide clinical care for the most acutely ill and needy children in the seven-state area served by Children's Hospital Colorado.
Care Philosophy
I never forget what a privilege it is to be entrusted with sharing healthcare decisions with families. The sense of privilege helps me maintain my humility, the idea of sharing reminds me to keep families engaged in their child’s care, and the role I plan in being entrusted with these decisions reminds me of the discipline required of clinicians to keep up with best practice so as to best honor this privilege.
